well modelled in the round as a hen, crouching with her head slightly turned towards the right and her legs neatly tucked beneath, naturalistically carved with small rounded eyes, short incurved beak and pendulous wattles, her plumage ?nely delineated with well di?erentiated feathers on the hackle, folded wings and tail, the smoothly polished stone of warm greenish-yellow colour with russet shades
7.7 cm, 3 in.
PROVENANCE
Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8th October 2013, lot 3312.
The soft rounded contours and impeccably smooth ?nish
of the present carving accentuate the evenness and subtle colouration of the stone, which endow the ?gure with a be?tting warmth and richness. The carver has skilfully blended an exaggerated pose with ?eshy rounded forms to create a sense of naturalism and calm to the ?gure.
A closely related yellow jade hen from the collection of Xu Hanqing was sold at Christie’s New York, 15th September 2011, lot 922. 清十八世紀 黃玉臥雞
